Dog rescue is a sad and dark place but as a rescuer regardless of all the horrible things you see... the abuse, the neglect, the death, the ones you can't help, the mean and cruel people... you deal with it for the dogs. You put on a happy face and you deal. This blog is to help one dog rescuer deal and hopefully show other rescuers they are not alone, even though it feels like that most of the time.

Just amazed

I am so at awe of all the awesome people I know and so impressed how total strangers are helping out my puppies' vet bill. I felt so down last week with them being sick and really money was the least of my worries because I wasn't going to let money stand in the way of them being healthy again. My vet kept saying we can do this but it will cost $$$ "I don't care what it takes, save them!" Is what I kept telling him. "Money isn't standing in the way of them going to their forever homes!"

I figured I would sell a few things here and there and have my annual Puppy Party fund raiser in September. Doing those two things I would have the vet bill paid off and would start back up after the party. BUT it looks like I am not really going to have to wait. I have had so many people call the vet office and donate I am at a loss for words. I can't believe how awesome everyone is and generous. Blows me away.

I am actually taking in a 5 year old female JRT (Christie in Dayton is working out the details) and I am taking in a 3 year old rough coat male from Richland County Pound (Elizabeth is going to foster that one). And as soon as I am back from my honey moon, I am going to the pound :-)

I can't really have dogs at my house right now because of the parvo. I don't want anyone else getting sick. Not to mention all the construction at my house.. LOL!! It is crazy. But I am doing what I can with the help of my foster homes and Paws and Prayers Rescue. They are awesome. The JRT's I can't find a foster home for, they are taking for me and I am cross posting them on my site.

How cool is that??

I am still hunting for the PERFECT lab mix puppy for the lady I work with who was supposed to get Riley. I have a lead on a few.. just want to make sure they have the best personality possible :-)

I do have some sad news... I did have a dog come back on Sunday. Dobbie a sweet little sheltie mix I rescued in 2007. The mom and dad got a divorce and there just wasn't time for Dobbie (who is now called Toby). Sharon took him in to foster and I stopped by this morning to see him.. I forgot how small and cute he was.. LOL!!

Well as of right now I have Molly, Marshall, Toby, Crash and Jingles to find homes for... I hope I can find homes for them soon. Oh and the two I am supposed to be getting.......
